Sometimes wiring a branch can be EXTREMELY nerve wracking. Watch as Nolan freaks out while Robert transforms the structure of the juniper with a 5.0mm wire.

Check out these highlights from the Buxus Microphylla (boxwood) transformation! Robert takes a seemingly ordinary looking boxwood that he found at a local nursery and transforms it dramatically into a beautiful bonsai.

A few highlights from the video where Robert takes an Alberta Spruce commonly found in garden centers and trains it into a new bonsai. Spruce is good cheap material, especially after the holidays. All you have to do is give it a haircut and look at it from a different point of view. Often times, a beautiful bonsai comes from a seemingly ordinary looking tree.

Your juniper bonsai is probably just dormant and not dead!
We get a lot of questions during the winter regarding juniper bonsai trees. Many people come in thinking their tree is dead when it's really just dormant. There is a quick easy way to tell by just looking at the bottom of the needles or shaving off a piece of the bark.

Junipers need to grow in a climate that has four seasons. Please don't grow this kind of bonsai indoors as it will not survive. Each season has its own function and the juniper absolutely needs to experience its dormant phase during winter time when temperatures drop.

Take a look at this school project Nolan did in the 7th grade on the topic of bonsai. It shows a brief history of bonsai, basic styles, pot, wires, and various bonsai info.

Robert shares a technique on how to design the layout of your forest bonsai piece. You can simply cut out the top of a bag of potting soil and use that as a foundation to temporarily design your placements. Once you have an idea of where you want to play your trees, label them and then move it to your container. It's much better than trying to balance a bunch of trees in plastic containers.

One of the reasons some people don't jump into the bonsai hobby is because of the maintenance required to care for one. You may be someone who travels a lot, but we've got you covered! If your bonsai is from us, feel free to use our bonsai day care!
